Production

Han had previously made several romantic comedy films and was looking for a new topic. He settled on a sex comedy as more realistic logistically than an action comedy or horror comedy. Han said his intention was to make a film that would encourage people to use condoms. The film cost S$500,000 to make and included a crowdfunding campaign for $9,000.

Oon watched pornographic films to prepare for her role as a Japanese pornographic actress. Oon was initially reluctant to take the role, but her boyfriend encouraged her, saying that the role is funny. Yeo also was reluctant to join the film, as she had recently given birth and cited tiredness. Yeo called the role "one of my most daring roles to date".

Han said the film's content caused them to miss out on some locations they wanted, but the cast and crew were willing to work with him. Shooting was tricky, because Han wanted to avoid explicit nudity as much as possible. To facilitate camera angles, Han requested two crew members who were in a relationship act as stand-ins.
